That's may or may not be a huge deal for you depending on your love of HDTV. What's more, if you get one of the Comcast tuners and use it with your EyeTV unit, you'll only be able to receive standard definition signals. Instead, you'll have to use the Comcast remote to access all channel changes. In addition, only devices that ship with built-in CableCARD technology, like TiVo HD, will continue to be able to tune in to those encrypted signals.Īlthough you can rent a digital adapter from Comcast and use it with your existing EyeTV tuner, you'll be unable to schedule recordings - or even change channels from within the application. That's because Comcast is about to start encrypting those channels, making them out of reach for your EyeTV unit. Once Comcast implements its changed lineup, it looks like you'll be able to receive only the most basic channels using tuners like the EyeTV Hybrid and 250, but you'll lose access to "expanded basic" channels like ESPN, MTV, Disney, and Nickelodeon. I wish I had good news for you, but I'm afraid I really don't.
How is the Comcast change going to affect my EyeTV? And exactly how shafted am I?

I mostly watch TV on my Mac using an EyeTV tuner from Elgato. Comcast has been telling me that I need to start buying or renting new equipment in order to keep watching my normal expanded basic channels like SyFy, USA, and TNT.
